Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for General Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with older routers and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there: https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-general

The required adapter is rated for 12 Volt 2.5 Amps. Does anyone know the connecter size? 3mm?
Netgear does not sell replacement power adapters. Any generic adapter will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions.
You can find these adapters in the usual on-line stores. Many will even list compatibility with Netgear models.
Netgear does not differentiate between power supplies for different devices. Over the years I have used many devices. They are all the same. Routers, modems and so on, most have similar power specifications. (If you are like me, you may have an old one lying around.)
So this is a generic issue and it is waste of everyone's time to go diving off to a different section. It just clutters up the place and slows down the process of getting answer.
